A SUMMER LOVE

Written for Stormy Lady's Newsletter and Poetry Contest

A Summer Love

The end of summer is nearing,
the last of sweltering hot days;
Time to move on with my life now
and forget the great passion plays.

A summer romance is fleeting,
its sunshine lasts just awhile -
The days will soon change into autumn
and then I'll forget his sweet smile.

The beginning is always exciting,
the end is heartbreak at best;
Like leaves on the wind, it changes,
and he fades into the past, like the rest.
